God Is a Pickle explores food preservation through the Czech Republic — one of the world’s most secular nations, where pickling became a symbolic “faith.”
With 100 + recipes for pickles and preserves plus seasonal dishes that use them, it shows how a local tradition reflects a universal need for resilience, seasonality, and ritual. Blending stories, history, and photography, the book offers practical inspiration for the kitchen and a reflection on how simple, time-honored practices continue to shape identity everywhere.
"Rest assured, the book’s title isn’t blasphemy: this is a love letter to a nation that has learned to find the sacred in the everyday (...) it’ll help you to taste the joy of a truly good ferment."
